I do, though it won't be on wheels!



Sounds like we have another Skipper! A one week marathon of 3,500

miles on the trailer and the remaining 35 minutes on the water.



I sure hope Charleston doesn't have Tostitos.

Nah, more like 1:20 drive, and about 4 hours on the water going down the river.

No tostitos in Charleston, just great restaurants!

Good old Snipper. Hope he's at peace where ever he is.
I took an opportunity to scout out proper launch sites this past
weekend in Cape Breton.
The marina I planned to use closed this spring. Too bad, it was in an
ideal spot to cruise the western end of the Bras d'Or Lakes. I did
survey a nice little narrow ramp accessible down a steep narrow twisty
path. Doable with a smaller tow vehicle and rig.



Actually, I think Skipper *is* R.I.P.

It's kind of sad that in his last few "appearances" here, he obviously
had gone bat**** crazy. I rarely agreed with him on anything, but
he was an entertaining story teller sometimes, and he certainly was a
far better writer than 99 per cent of the "righties" we have infesting
this newsgroup these days. Ol' Skip could turn a phrase or two when he
worked at it; his "inheritors" can barely turn a pitchfork full of
"used" hay in a cattle barn.

That's true, you are a ****ty writer.

Skipper did seem to have lost his marbles in the last posts he made
here in the Summer of 2006. Maybe it was a meds/health issue, as it
appears that you are correct and he is no longer with us.

It appears that Dave passed on 11-7-2007 of a heart attack, just 4
days short of his 66th birthday.

His bizarre approach to boating will live forever!

Is that a fairly accurate report?
Hard to believe..almost 5 years since he got all worked up against
Chuck for some perceived slight or snub/insult.

Did you tour the Yorktown while you were there? If you didn't you missed
something special.

I can assure you that Chuck is no sock puppet and neither was Skipper
(aka David Mann).

Yes, I did. I've been on it twice, and once was with a WWII veteran (a
relative) that worked on the Corsairs. When he saw the Corsair on that
ship, he had tears in his eyes!
